Day 41: Lunch

May 19, 2009 05:31

Just as von Karma started to enter the doorway leading to the Courtyard to look around for anyone remotely resembling his daughter, that pretentious lunatic's voice rang out over the Intercom, heralding the approach of lunch time. Right away, the damned nurse practically dragged him back into the cafeteria and towards the serving tables, telling ( Read more... )

Even though Sora would have liked to talk with Artemis and Sai for a little longer, he was also glad to be out of the shower. It had been tough trying to get himself clean while also keeping the soap out of his wounds, but he had managed it well enough in the end.

Though he wasn't as dry as he would have liked since he hadn't had much time to towel off. With his hair and his shirt somewhat damp, he made his way back into the cafeteria and was reminded of how his mother had always warned him that he would catch cold if he ran around with wet hair. Destiny Islands had been so warm that it hadn't usually mattered, but just thinking back on it made the boy unexpectedly nostalgic.

He distracted himself by choosing out what to eat, grabbing for some of the chicken and then getting the macaroni and cheese as a side. It was a pretty good comfort food, which he was in need of considering his injuries.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Xigbar around yet today. He wasn't exactly worried, but he did have to wonder where the Nobody had ( ... )

Demyx had been watching the bulletin board closely all day, and not doing much else. From the moment it had looked as though Xigbar might have vanished - or, even more worryingly, been killed - he'd been anxiously monitoring the messages. He'd only finally relaxed when Luxord had confirmed that Xigbar was still alive...but had also confirmed that the warning Demyx had meant to offer Sora was going to be coming a little late.

Still...better than nothing, right?

The Nobody wasted no time; after he spotted Luxord's note, Sora was the very next thing he made a beeline for, sitting down next to him without even thinking about being afraid, or pretending to be. And the kid looked kind of the worse for wear, he noted. "Xigbar attacked you?" he asked, without even offering any sort of greeting. "Already?"

Just as Sora had worked up the appetite to start eating some of his macaroni and cheese, he was interrupted by yet another Nobody dropping by to talk to him. He glanced up, straightening in his seat and placing a hand instinctively at his injured side as he did so.

Sora was a little surprised that Demyx already knew about what happened. It was only lunch time! Does word really travel that fast? Then again, the Organization probably had a pretty good communication system, even here. Still, Sora hadn't thought Demyx was all that close to Luxord and Xigbar, so it's still unexpected.

"Uhh, yeah," he admitted, rubbing at the back of his neck. "Though it's not really 'already,' is it? I mean, he's been here for a while and so have I." In a way, it was more shocking that something like this hadn't happened a long time ago.

"Well, I just meant that he only mentioned it yesterday morning..." Demyx trailed off dispiritedly. "Well, I guess he didn't really mention it, but I figured out what he was hinting at anyway. But I didn't even get the chance to warn you first."

Damn it, nothing was going right. How was he supposed to handle this situation? Xigbar had apparently proved in one fell swoop that one, Nobodies couldn't be trusted and were still hostile towards Sora, and two, that the Nobodies still couldn't beat Sora in a fight. That was just great. The only thing that had gone Demyx's way was that Xigbar and Sora had both survived the night, no matter how roughed up they'd become ( ... )

Sora agreed that a warning would have been really nice, if only so that he could have let his friends know in advance that he wouldn't be able to join them. He still had to apologize to Allen for never showing up last night, come to think of it. He couldn't blame Demyx for not getting the word out to him, though. If Xigbar had only come up with this idea yesterday, then that hadn't given Demyx much time to work with -- and apparently Demyx hadn't expected Xigbar to move so quickly ( ... )

Demyx relaxed considerably when it became clear that Sora was no more interested in killing anybody than Demyx was in seeing anyone die. He'd known that Sora had been pretty passive about their presence before, but he hadn't known whether or not Xigbar's actions would break the tentative truce. Apparently not.

"That's good," he said aloud, sounding almost as relieved as he felt. "I don't really wanna fight you, but I would've if I had to...and if Xigbar couldn't beat you, there's no way I'd win."

Sora laughed, even though it wasn't very funny. He didn't like that people were out for his blood, but he knew that it was a consequence of his previous actions, and so he was going to bear it as best as he could. So long as people who weren't involved didn't get dragged in, he wouldn't mind. (Though he would also be perfectly happy if that first fight here at Landel's was also the last.)

"You shouldn't underestimate yourself so much," Sora pointed out, managing a small smile. "I think I told you this before, but you weren't easy to beat." He knew it would be a different story here (could Demyx even make water clones?), but the point still stood.

sitard3d May 22 2009, 03:37:24 UTC

"Yeah?" Demyx gave Sora a slightly crooked grin. "I dunno if I ought to feel happy about that, considering how screwed up our fighting each other was in the first place...and you won anyway, so I wasn't that tough, I guess. But - it's good to hear anyway, I guess? The others don't think much of me." He wrinkled his nose. "They didn't send me to deal with you first 'cause I was the strongest, y'know. Not counting the guys in Castle Oblivion, anyway."

"It was three on one," Sora pointed out, though he wasn't really sure why he was making the effort to make Demyx feel better. The guy couldn't really feel that bad about it in the first place, right? Still, it was something to talk about, even if it was kind of weird to be discussing the battle where one of them had died ( ... )

sitard3d May 22 2009, 22:04:35 UTC

"Ah, c'mon," Demyx complained. "You had the Keyblade! That's gotta count for at least, like...ten. Maybe twenty!" Not that he was really objecting, but something about the relaxed debate reminded him of hanging out with Roxas and arguing with him during some of the boy's more lighthearted moments, and it was...comfortable, in a way. Like the pattern was old and familiar even if Sora wasn't, exactly ( ... )

"I guess you have a point there," Sora agreed with a sage nod. The Keyblade was specifically meant to take out Heartless, and that apparently transferred pretty well to Nobodies too. The battles Sora had had with the Organization had still been tough (he hadn't even been able to beat Xemnas without Riku's help), but he probably wouldn't have stood a chance without the Keyblade ( ... )
